@elemsham@twitter - Dear Friend,I appreciate that you would send such a response, but I do not know what, “Site,” is, but I trst the American Medical Association to the extend that if every person such as I who have a weight problem;  Had they the answer to such a condition such as obesity, I believe with all of my heart and soul that people would be in lines out the door to get such a product.  Not for one minute would I disclaim something which I know nothing about, but it has got to pass a scientific model of success before I am going to seek treatment with itI was not certain if you were using a play on words — an easy error to make, since sight, and looking at myself day in and day out knowing that, “From the very sight of myself,” I woulld be inclined to think that a thinner body would ease my knee pain, my back pain, and just make me look better in general.  That should be enough — if you picked up on the  spelling which means, “Visual appearance,” for I know that I am putting pressure on my internal organs, because I am not disciplined enough to turn away from excess sugar, fat, and salt and turn to water al the absolutely healthy and preferred liquid which my body needs.  Using that thinking and terminology, you would be telling a known and simple truth.  If you are suggesting a supplement that is a weight managment pill;  I would be skeptical – erI endeavor again and again to not deface another person’s experience.Here is an experiment for some folks, for there are enough diet books on the shelves of thrift stores than there are of about any other book thrown away, and do you know who has bought them?  It is people such as I, and we have gotten all excited, lost 7 lbs in two weeks, telling all of our friends and neighbors about the same books, for so many of us are fighting this known battle called obesity.  We will spend money if they have shown us their diets will work.  Maybe a year later we are just a shadow of our former selves, but then we have a couple of weddings, baby showers; “Oh Yum,” some Holidays thrown in there,”  and our jaws drop after we decide we can bear to weigh back in, because we will note that we put the weight back on faster than we shed the pounds, for we have denied our body things we need or just things we love, and I am going to confess to the latter, for I love sweets, wonderful crab meat dips, dark chocolate covered almonds, and my guess is that, sitting all of this in front of me would have some kinship to being a heroin addict.”I have said that I am an overly educated nurse, for I just kept taking courses, graduating with far more classes than I needed to graduate from a four year nursing program, but I learned a lot along the way as well.  One of the things I have learned is to endeaavor not to jump on the boat of such books, pills, or other which guarantee weight loss, for even on a lousy diet and with laxatives, you can lose seven pounds in two weeks, for you are depleting yourself of fluids, or you are denying nutrients, and I have met patient after patient who feels free to talk to me about such issues.  “OH yeah;  I not only have a nurse who will break her back for me, but she has a wight problem too, so we have a night’s worth of conversation right there, but once more, I would hear the same stories over and over again.Is, “Site,” a pill or a liquid?  Does it list it’s ingredients?  Will you take time to look up every one of those ingredients in the MERCK Manual. a rather sophisticated medical manual, but it also uses language which lay people can understand.  At the end of looking up those ingredients, I am going to guess that you have found most or some of the following:  Vitamins, minerals, maybe some fish oils, fiber, and some solution which is going to make you void more, and depleting yourself of liquids might sound innocent, but you will be depleting yourself of electrlytes as well, for so many things you need from your brain to your toes is water soluble;  Therefore, a little diuretic goes a long way in sucking water out of the fat cells.  Now that surely is lay person terminology, but our fat cells, are loaded with water.  If you were not talking about a pill or a a liquid which you take;  Then you have my deepest apologies, for site and sight are often confused — Just like I murder no and know, so please understand that I am not just being a smar aleck, for I groan and hurt for people just like me.Here’s my good features; I am not wrinkled anywhere.  Fat does not hang down my neck, for like brown spots, if it is there, then I am going to find myself a good physician and get rid of it.  If I dress up, I am apt to look younger than most people my age; but I prefer not to put make up on very often, for if done well;  It is time consumming. I am taller, and working hard all of my life;  I do not have a lot of flabby muscle; but adipose tissue is just a fancy name for fat, and women tend to look better with a little weight on us;  Sorry ladies; but it is the truth, for we even appear to have some mammory tissue, though we, too, will see an end to that — Just later.  Meanwhile our bones and joints hurt so much we could cry, and we feel like cows in a room full of skinny women who are aiming for that model size of 1 to 00 small.  It looks like hunger on younger women, and worse on older women, and those dainty little figures are not going to give you the extra calories you need to do battle with cancer, and not even diabetes.  Low blood sugar will kill you a whole lot faster than high blood sugar; So could we please have some intervention as to how we are teaching our daughters that starvation is the way to perfect bodies.”Self,”  what is it?  Be careful what you share with your friends without a medical license, and one last interesting point is this.  I saw pictures of myself, my mother, and my two grandmothers, and the other three have long left this life,  one, from a blood clotting disorder which I have, and she died the youngest of the three, and she was the fattest — less trim, of all of us, but each of us was over weight, so as I looked at them;  I saw me, and I felt anxious about my future, for only my mother had lived today’s life span and more, dying at age 85.  I saw my paternal grandmother’s body, and I could see some of my mother’s face, and then I think I wound up feeling as if I looked more like the paternal side of my family, none which is interesting to you;  But as far back as I could see;  I saw no skinny grandmother — Not one!No matter what, “Self can not do,” it cannot beat the genetic component, and I have sisters who do, just becaause it is that important to them to wear smaller sizes.  They work hard at keeping that weight down, so what I need is a load of whatever becomes, The discipline gene,” and that is among the factors which has to have a huge behavioral component to it.   ”Lord,” would you just kick me in the ass and leave me as disciplined  as my two elder sisters, though my baby sister is way cute too, but, she has a whole decade younger than us. and age was another big marker as to when the weight came on — after a total hystorectomy,” but I lean and pray that to see a grandchild graduate from college — Maybe Harvard;  To see my grandaughter be happy, well, and without childhood burdens she faced; Then won’t you help me, “Gracious Lord,” and for this person who endeavored to send a helpful note, then I hope we both bot something out of iit, for they are a blessing — Those who show kindness.Thank you so much, and I will keep an ear open for, “Self.”Barbara Everett HeintzAuthor of, “Pinkhoneysuckle,”  — Book on Amazon, Kindle Ready, or From me — Amazon is easier.Xanga Blogger, Pinkhoneysuckle
